I have lived at the Sessile for 18months. I find it to be a safe place with a lovely friendly feel to it. Outside the Sessile is the park. I have a dog and there is a friendly dog walking community. Transport links are amazing. It feels safe coming home at night and walking to the Sessile from the tube. Although a busy walk through from Tottenham to the tube station it is a quiet road with very little anti social behaviour. There are coffee shops, close by, a retail park 5mins walk away and a Health centre. It would be great to see more of the empty units opening up around the Sessile.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management respond immediately to issues raised. They are considerate when in the home and kind. Issues swiftly dealt with.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I think the Sessile community has continued to give. Whilst residents are private and there is a wide demographic it us such a friendly place with a real sense of community. Residents speak on corridors, in lifts , always a friendly face. It is pet friendly but the flats are well found proofed. This experience of community spirit can only really be felt when living here

Outdoor space is great (wetlands). Varied shops, restaurants (Walthamstow) retail park near the building and coffee shop and bars pubs by. Unfortunately, some examples of antisocial behaviour around Tottenham, but this isn’t new.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes, any flat issues are raised via the app are responded to in good time. Our oven cut out first week and had it resolved within 24 hours.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

they’ve pretty much always sorted stuff. Sometimes they get fixed right away . sometimes it took a bit longer but I belive this was because they were waiting for a part .

It has been a pleasure to live here for the last three years. The current team, Iga, Niamh, Clay, are all very dedicated and doing their best to help us feel at home. The location, even tough a little lacklustre, is slowly getting better, the park next door has been greatly improved, new buildings and shops are popping up etc.
